The Lucasville Uprising was a rebellion against oppressive and racist policies at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility (SOCF) in Lucasville, OH. Nine inmates and one guard died during the uprising in April of 1993. Today, many people are serving time or condemned to death by the state of Ohio in relation to the uprising. We demand amnesty for all of these inmates. The conditions at SOCF were (and still are) intolerable and unconscionable.

Keith LaMar's Oral Arguments Scheduled Dec 2nd.

After nearly two years of waiting,
Keith’s oral argument date and time has finally been set!

This is a
critical point in Keith’s proceedings and he needs us to show up for him
now more than ever (since he won’t be allowed to attend)! Please plan
to join us in support of Keith and recruit friends to come down with you
to let the state of Ohio and the judges know that we are paying
attention to their ruling.

The date is December 2, 2014 at 2 p.m. in Cincinnati. Supporters are starting to coordinate buses, and support activities. Stay tuned for more information on how you can participate.

Last month, in a move Keith supported, his lawyers requested to be removed for the case because their relationship had broken down. On Aug 20th, the Judges denied this motion. Their decision cannot be appealed until after the oral arguments. So Keith is forced to work with these lawyers for the time being. They have been in communication and hope to be able to work together through the oral arguments.

More information and organizing plans will be forthcoming, but please save the date, and start thinking about what you can do to show support on Dec 2nd!
